The Satmar spokesman said that Burg had asked Teitelbaum to receive him to discuss the indicents aris- ing from the violent reac- tions by Hasidic Jews when cars appeared on the Ramot Road which passes through the Mea Shearim section of Jerusalem. The road carries traffic to a Jerusalem sub- urb. The spokesman said that among those present at the Burg-Teitelbaum meeting were Rabbi Hertz Franke, a repre- sentative _ of the Williamsburg Orthodox community, and Berl Friedman, a member of the Council of Jewish Organizations of Boro Park, another section of Brooklyn. The spokesman said that the issue of "police brutal- ity" in Jerusalem was dis- cussed in detail at the hour- long meeting and that Burg made a verbal commitment to the Satmar Rebbe that on his return to Jerusalem, he would "intervene person- ally" to resolve the issue of Sabbath traffic on the Ramot Road. The spokesperson said one of the solutions pro- posed at the Burg- Teitelbaum meeting was construction of a second road which would bypass the Mea Shearim section. ACLU to Sue. School District Over Bibles The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) plans to sue the Holly, Mich. School District for allowing the distribution of Bibles to its students. The suit would be an at- tempt to establish a federal court precedent on the sep- aration of church and state that would apply to all Michigan school districts, according to Howard Simon, executive director of the ACLU's Michigan chapter. The case stems from the Holly Board of Education's refusal to change its policy of 10 years and continue its annual distribution of Gi- deon Bibles to fifth graders and graduating seniors.

Friday, April 10, 1981 55 Boris Smolar's Between You . . . and Me' Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, JTA (Copyright 1981, JTA, Inc.) CHANGING SENTIMENTS: Take an average Jew in the United States — one who is deeply interested in helping Israel in various ways = and ask him: "Who is the President of Israel?" He will hardly be able to give you the answer. President Yitzhak Navon is most popular in Israel. A man of 60, he distinguished himself in the Hagana prior to the establishment of Israel. Later he played an important role in Israel's Foreign Ministry and served as head of Premier Ben-Gurion's office. He was also elected to the Knesset and was deputy speaker of Israel's Knesset and chairman of its Committee for Foreign Affairs and Secu- rity. He comes from a family that settled in Jerusalem 200 years ago. Yet his name is not sufficiently known to American Jewry. The same is true about other Israeli leaders of today. today. Israeli representatives continue to come to the United States to address meetings and dinners, but they don't draw large audiences. They are no longer a novelty to the aver- age American Jew. In fact, the United Jewish Appeal re- ceives now from local Jewish communities more and more requests to send them American speakers for their fund- raising campaigns rather than Israeli speakers. They ex- plain the request with the fact that from American speak- ers the public learns not only of developments in Israel but also of developments in Jewish life in the United States. THE EMERGING PICTURE: The interest of Jews in this country to provide financial aid for Israel's humanitarian needs is now as strong as ever. The same is true with regard to standing on guard for Israel's interests in Washington and in combatting Arab influence in the United States. More and more a picture emerges showing that the large majority of American Jews are interested in helping Israel as a state and not the various political parties which compete for power in the state. In fact, many do not know the difference between some of the political groups in Is- rael. They are wondering why such a small country like Israel must have a dozen or more political parties. Most American Jews interested in helping Israel are not exactly happy,over the fact that the religious groups in Israel are dominating government policies on important issues. Such influence in state affairs by religious groups would in this country be fought by many Americans Jews as a violation of the Constitution which separates state and religion. Many Jews in this country find it hard to understand why Israel, which needs immigrants and a larger Jewish population in general, is lenient thward curbing the emig- ration of "yordim" from Israel, about 400,000 of whom are now in the United States, with many among them Israeli- born ("sabras") and members of kibutzim who had always been the symbol of idealism. They interpret it to mean that the Israelis are becoming more materialistic than idealis- tic. They look with disfavor on "yordim" in this country. They consider them as elements to whom the interest in the dollar is above the interest in Israel. CJF ATTITUDE: The Council of Jewish Federationi observes the sentiments now growing within the American Jewish community with regard to the internal communal life in Israel, and is worried. The CJF leadership wants to see a stronger ,bridge between the American Jewish com- munity and Israel. Voices are, therefore, heard in the federations of the necessity to arrange periodic "dialogues" between Israeli leaders and the Council of Jewish Federations to discuss the respective roles and relationship, and to establish ties beyond philanthropic ones. The federations also want the CJF to have a say in the selection by Israel of shlikhim to the United States. They -,claim that many unqualified "political" appointees sent to the United States often times have been deleterious to relationships and to "bridges." They underscore the need for care in the selection and the willingness of the CJF to be helpful in working with Israel in the selection process. The need to establish a CJF presence in Israel to bring to the Israelis more understanding about American Jewry not only as money givers is also on the minds of federation leaders. They are interested in evoking more attention in Israel to American Jewish communal life about which Is- raelis display practically no interest at all. In general, the federations feel deep concern about the great tensions in Israeli society created by extraordinary economic and defense burdens that have led to emigration of many from Israel. they recognize the responsibility of the American Jewish community for aid which can improve the quality of life in Israel, and that the Jewish community must give priority to effecting positive attitudes and sup- port to Israel .
